AUXILIARY PUMP
The maximum height of the solar installation from the base of the solar storage
tank to the top of the solar collectors is 9 m. The pump supplied with the solar
storage tank will not circulate closed circuit fluid through heights greater than
9 m and solar gain will not be achieved.
For heights greater than 9 m, an auxiliary pump (kit PN 299914) must be
installed. The installation of an auxiliary pump will enable a maximum height of
18 m to be achieved. Refer to
